The Global Infrastructure Facility (GIF) offers a range of design, preparation, appraisal, structuring, and transaction support products that assist client governments throughout all phases of the project cycle -- from earliest concept through to financial closing. 

Project Readiness Assessment Activity- This provides a standardized gateway-style support to client governments in assessing the current state and quality of preparation of an infrastructure program or project intended for private investment. 

Project Definition Activity- This enables governments to design and define an infrastructure project or program intended for private investment (pre-feasibility level analysis and early financial structuring) and plan for detailed preparation work. 

Project Preparation Structuring Activity- This supports governments in the detailed preparation and structuring of an infrastructure project or program to bring investment opportunities to market. The scope of such support can be flexible and comprehensive and continues to commercial or financial close.
